ive seen them... but 100 point S* can be used much more effectively elsewhere

Your the third person to say that. Weve been discussing this in team forum too. I wonder why that is, i understand your taking carries away from the S*HB and having a S*Wr or Te is more beneficial obviously, so is it because the FB is put into that class of S* you dont see them? In my mind having a FB that has the option to run/block/catch and run, i feel like that could be deadly. But at same time so could a badass DE hurrying a QB every play. My guess is the class of S* the FB is in has made it undesirable

Xars built the best S*FB in the game, Garbage Truck, he is on the HOF list for FBs.

Maybe if you used him as a power back on your KR and were gonna give him carries not using a S* HB. S* TEs are IMO the best offensive 100 pointer as they are easy to over target. You would have to heavily commit to two back formations to focus around it. It's not that it cant be effective

Not sure this is the case anymore. S* TEs were the best pre-passing changes, and before play action, but these days I don't see any dominant TEs really. I don't think you replace a S* HB with a S* FB....but they compliment one another nicely. You basically get another star RB for 3-4 million less in cap space.

I like the two back formations a lot actually, big/strong 2 back formations, dual TE threat with dual threats in back field, short yardage confusion leaves the correctly chosen play open big. Idk was just curious.

Thank you myrik ill check him out

I would never build a S* FB mostly because the pool of FB centered plays to choose from is much smaller then HB

im a defensive guy... i just use mine on safeties lol

not this season up coming, but 47, i will make one for fun, put him on a cpu team and just see how he does first season or two. im curious lol

S* FB needs own playbook. When it was cheaper I always tried to play solo so with only 3 star spots U needed to think about it. If U wanted Star QB - FB was only option of superstar running game. With right build and right OL it can be formidable and at least force teams to commit to stop runs on middle. It is fun to run 1 of a kind attack. But U need to commit to it. OL and FB and playbook is a must. No point in cpu.

I would take this guys advice, dudes a stud

Because FBs cost so damn much to get sprinting in, and backs have a lot more problem nowadays than in days past breaking multiple tackles at the same time or in short succession, the S* FB went from viable to outright a bad idea.

I mean, if you go the route of him being your only legitimate runner and don't waste points in blocking - you can build a pretty nice powerback, but he'll be slow.

And you will not be able to run outside very well, limiting your playbook. Even if you build a specific outside runner HB to supplement - the FB will be useless in lead blocking for him so teams will be able to just about entirely focus in/out with LBs based upon if your FB is in the game or not.



I like the idea, it sounds fun, but some teams could probably take advantage of you.

Should a Star FB really be in the grouping of WR/TE/CB/FS/SS/DE? Probably would make more sense to have it with OT/G/C/DT/K/P

yes please move FB to 50
